What do you like most about CrossFit?Crossfit makes me feel like a kid again. It's an incredibly fun and challenging way to get in shape. I most appreciate the scalability of it -- different ages and different levels of ability all in the same workout group and yet no one is left behind. The lack of predictability is what initially drew me to Crossfit....you never know what the day will bring. And that's a new way of thinking about specificity...training for the unknown--because you never know what life will ask of you. What can I expect on the first day of class? Personal attention, knowledge, inspiration, a great workout, and the starting blocks for reaching your goals while developing an undefeatable spirit and tenacity in your pursuit. I can't do a full push up, can I still complete a workout? Absolutely! All exercises can be modified to accommodate your current fitness level. Your safety and the appropriate development of your fitness is our #1 concern. How is CrossFit different than other training programs you've seen? Crossfit is about creating functional fitness for life. By doing so, some practices deviate from the guidelines we received in P.E. class. Waiting 48 hours before working the same muscle group is relevant for some but not for most. In life, the military, and other physically demanding occupations we face unpredictable demands that require functional fitness on a daily basis. If you have the unfortunate experience of slipping of a cliff and find yourself holding on to the edge for dear life, do you not pull yourself up because you did pull-ups yesterday? Or are you unable to do so due to lack of adaptation? Rest and recovery are crucial to any exercise routine, however, variability and random design are underutilized methods in most training programs. What is your favorite W.O.D.?
